Ribblesdale Original Sheep

Milk from sheep has nearly double the amount of solids (fat and protein) as milk from cows or goats. There’s no denying that this cheese is fattier, regardless of their texture. Our Original Sheep cheeses are tangy and lavish, potent, and intensely gamey and wrapped in red wax.

How its made

The process of making cheese is common to all cheeses. As a result of this process, milk is transformed into curds and whey. After draining they whey, a curd is left behind; this curd is already ‘fresh’ cheese! A variety of methods can then be used to prepare the cheese: straining, pressing, salting, or brining. Whether it’s young or old, clean or with mould, it’s delicious! Each cheesemaker practices his or her craft in his or her own unique way, and cheesemaking is both a science and an art.
